Step 3: How to print

Print the PDF. Fold each page down the middle along the dotted vertical line and cut the solid horizontal lines.

If your printer has a special "duplex" option, you can use it to automatically print double-sided. However for most printers, you need to:

Print the "odd-numbered" pages first

Feed the printed pages back into the printer

Print the "even-numbered" pages

If your printer prints pages face up, you may need to tell your printer to reverse the order when printing the even-numbered pages.

Please use the "Open PDF" button to print your set.

Why?
In order to provide a consistent printing experience across different computers and web browsers, we've provided a standard PDF format for you to print.

1.Craseonycteridae: (bumblebee bat) (1, 1)
• Thailand
• Smallest species of bat and mammal
(based on mass) 3 cm, 1.5 to 2.0 g Bumblebee bat
• Roost in small caves → solitary
• Insectivorous
• Distinctive pig-like snout (also known as hog-nosed bat)
The uropatagium is large which may
assist in flying and catching insects,
although there are no tail bones or
calcars to help control it in flight

3.Furipteridae: (smoky, or thumbless, bats) (2, 2)
This family contains only two species, the Smokey Bat and the
Thumbless Bat.
Both are from Central and South America, and are closely related to the bats in the Natalidae and Thyropteridae families. They can be recognized by their reduced and functionless thumbs, enclosed by the wing membranes, and their broad, funnel-shaped ears. They are insectivorous and can live in many different kinds of environments.

4.Hipposideridae: Old World Leaf-nosed Bat • these bats live in arid desert
environments in Morocco, Arabian
Peninsula, etc.
• Distinctive facial ornamentation
• Insectivorous
• Some species highly endangered
• Roost in a variety of places including
buildings
• Small to medium bats → 4 to 28 g; 35 to 110 mm

5.Megadermatidae: (False vampire bats) (4, 5)
• East Africa, India, SE Asia, and Australia
• Tropical and savanna habitats
• Moderate to large bats → 65 to 140 mm; up to 170 g
• No upper incisors
• Roost in caves, trees, buildings, and bushes
They have large eyes, very large ears and a prominent nose-leaf.
They have a wide uropatagium, but no tail.
Many species are a drab brown in color, but some are white, bluish-grey or even olive-green, helping to camouflage. They are primarily insectivorous, but will also eat a wide
range of small vertebrates

7.Mormoopidae: (Mustache or naked backed bats) (2, 8)
• Tropical → Central and South America
• Semiarid to tropical forest
• Insectivorous with long narrow wings for fast flight
• Gregarious, forming large colonies in caves
They are distinguished by the presence of a leaf-like projection
from their lips, instead of the noseleaf found in many other bat
species. In some species, the wing membranes join over the animal's back, making it appear hairless

8.Mystacinidae: (New Zealand short-tailed bats) (1, 2)
Mystacinids are the most "unbatlike" family of bats. They spend much of the time on the ground and are unique in being able to fold their wings into a leathery membrane when not in use. They also have a projection on some the claws, which may aid
in digging or climbing. They are omnivorous, eating fruit and carrion in addition to ground dwelling arthropods, pollen and nectar (which they are able to collect with their extensible tongue

9.Myzopodidae: (Old World sucker-footed bat) (1, 1)
These are medium-sized insectivores with large ears, found in Madagascar.
Like the neotropical Thyropteridae,myzopodid bats have suction-cups on their wrists and ankles that allow them
to roost inside rolled leaves. The suction cups appear to have evolved independently.
Their toes have only two phalanges, and they are united for most of their length. The thumb is small and has a vestigial claw, similar to the New
World furipterids.

12.Phyllostomidae: (New World Leaf-nosed bats) (55, 160)
Ecologically the most varied and diverse family within the order
Chiroptera.
Most species are insectivorous, but the phyllostomid bats include true predatory species as well as frugivores.
For example, the False Vampire(Vampyrum spectrum)- the largest bat in the Americas, eats vertebrate prey including small dove-sized birds. Members of this family have evolved to utilize food groups such
as fruit, nectar, pollen, insects, frogs, other bats and small
vertebrates, and, in the case of the vampire bats, even blood

13.Pteroposidae: Flying foxes- largest species
Large size range 15-20g up to 3lb
Up to 6 feet wing span
Frequently in large numbers in trees

Feed on nectar, blossom, pollen or fruit
Limited to tropical distribution
No echolocation

Face like fox -> long snout
Nocturnal though some are diurnal
Large eyes, can navigate visually. May be sensitive to UV
smell and eyesight very well developed

14.Rhinolophidae: Old World Horseshoe Bat • Widely distributed in old world temperate and tropical regions
• Wide variety of habitats
• Distinctive facial ornamentation in the shape of a horseshoe
• Insectivorous
• Some species highly endangered
• Roost in a variety of places
• Small to medium bats → 4 to 28 g;
35 to 110 mm
• Very agile flyers

15.Rhinopomatidae: (Mouse-tailed bats) (1, 3)
• Very long tails (as long as entire body)
• Small to medium sized bats → 5-6 cm; 6 to 14 g
• Found in arid and semi-arid regions of North Africa, Middle
East to India and Sumatra
• Roost in caves, cliffs, and Egyptian pyramids
• Insectivorous
Mouse-tailed bats become torpid during cold weather,although they do not truly hibernate. They live in roosts of a thousand or more members, and have one or two young per year

16.Thyropteridae: (Disk-winged bats) (1, 3)
• Sucker discs on thumbs and feet
• They can also be recognized by their reduced thumb, enclosed by
the wing membranes, and their funnel-shaped ears.
• Small bats → 4 g
• Neotropical → humid forests near water
• Insectivorous
• Roost in Heliconia leaves
